Know before you buy
Because the live edge follows the natural contour of the wood, the depth can vary slightly along the length of the shelf. We recommend accounting for a small variance in depth when planning your installation space.
The HOVR bracket system is designed for a straightforward, secure installation. It includes all necessary hardware and provides a high-strength, self-leveling mount that keeps the shelf flush against the wall.
Yes, Black Oak is a dense, durable hardwood that is naturally moisture-resistant. When properly finished, these shelves are well-suited for holding toiletries in bathroom settings.
Thanks to the heavy-duty HOVR bracket system, these shelves can support up to 300 lbs when properly mounted into wall studs. This makes them exceptionally sturdy for heavy books, kitchen appliances, or decor.
For routine cleaning, simply wipe the shelf with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the wood finish; if needed, a slightly damp cloth followed by an immediate dry wipe is sufficient.
All three rail finishes—Unlacquered Brass, Black Steel, and Nickel Plated—are selected for their durability and long-term performance. Your choice should be based on your preferred aesthetic, as each finish is designed to withstand daily use.
